With ' ImageMagick ' installed :

Code:

#!/bin/sh
 import $RANDOM.jpg;
 
 exit 0;

The executable script can be named e.g. jpg and
copied to /usr/local/bin/
.. or just click it .. and a crosshair appears.

You can also make a link / 'Icon' to start it.

imagemagick is installed.
But man imagemagick doesn't display anything.

I use a Perl script that I wrote. Named it screenshot

(currently has) 6 second delay until

Also, unique names each screen shot (uses seconds, minutes, hours of system clock)

1st, what eb does for me. And then, screenshot is the last one that I used my eb to cat it. It begins with the

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

line

Code:

al@P5Q:~$ alias | grep eb
alias eb='echo_binfil'


al@P5Q:~$ eb echo_binfil
cat /home/al/bin/echo_binfil

#!/bin/sh
echo cat ~/bin/$1
echo " "
cat ~/bin/$1
al@P5Q:~$



al@P5Q:~$ eb screenshot
cat /home/al/bin/screenshot

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
sleep(6);
#$time = `date '+%Y-%m-%d-%T'`;
#print $time, "\n";
system("import -window root /home/al/Desktop/screenshot-`date '+%Y-%m-%d-%T'`.png");
# end of screenshot Perl script
al@P5Q:~$

@ acummings post # 9 ..

May be I'm wrong .. these two seem a little shorter,
both have variable "wait time" and a "cross hair"
to use with either a cut out of the screenshot or
the whole screen.

Program 1. : The images each get a random number file name

Code:

 import $RANDOM.jpg

... or with any other image suffix than .jpg .

Program 2. : A time file name like your perl program ..

Code:

 import $time `date '+%Y-%m-%d-%T'`.jpg

acummings · 12-26-2009, 10:54 PM

Code:

import screenshot-`date '+%Y-%m-%d-%T'`.jpg

I now have that in my "run command" dialog to use when I just want to click the cross hair on a certain window. (BTW, what was $time it didn't seem to be needed)

My Perl script always takes the entire desktop -- I can run it from konsole then minimize konsole and then quickly move windows -- for it actually "screenshots" the entire desktop 6 seconds after it's been initially run.
